Dallas, TX (PRWEB) May 14, 2012

Worksoft®, a leading provider of test automation solutions for SAP® applications and the “ecosystem” of software that surrounds it, today announced Worksoft Certify® 9 Suite, the next generation of its award-winning suite of solutions. Focused on delivering agile testing capabilities, the new Certify 9 Suite architecture includes support for deployment in the cloud as well as the ability to test from mobile platforms.

“The new cloud-based architecture of Worksoft Certify 9 Suite continues our tradition of innovation, helping customers be more agile with their SAP solution-based implementations, customizations and upgrade projects,” said Shoeb Javed, CTO at Worksoft. "It is based on over a decade of experience deploying next-generation test automation with some of the largest, most sophisticated, global Fortune 1,000 customers.”

Worksoft’s Certify Suite is an integrated, end-to-end test automation solution, focused squarely on functional and performance testing of SAP applications. Industry consensus is that $.40 cents of every dollar that is spent supporting packaged application software is dedicated to testing and validating changes. The Certify Suite reduces the time, effort and cost of the application testing lifecycle, accelerating customer time-to-value and significantly reducing operational costs.

“The demands of business require faster time to market and more efficient use of resources, said Thomas Murphy, Research Director at Gartner. “Tools that enable agility and anywhere access, be they desktop or device, and efficient use of cloud-based resources, are key to meeting these demands.”

A summary of the key enhancements to Worksoft Certify 9 Suite include the following:

• Worksoft Certify 9 – flagship functional testing solution introduces new browser-based, three-tiered architecture that simplifies deployment, configuration, management and execution of tests from the cloud. Worksoft Certify now offers multiple database configurations, extension of automated tests to mobile platforms, as well as a Web services-based infrastructure for easy integration and extension.
• Certify Performance™ 9 – Automated load and stress testing for SAP solutions adds numerous important capabilities, such as cloud servers with distributed on-premise agents, enhancements to support Web services-based clients (including mobile devices), and customer-driven test metrics reporting.
• Certify Data™ 9 - Test data extraction and maintenance solution incorporates enhanced correlation across multiple screens, expanded support for new SAP document types, and numerous other enhancements based on customer feedback.
• Certify Impact™ 9 – Risk-based testing solution now supports HTML 5 front-end for tablet and mobile devices, trend analysis and reporting, as well as tight integration with Certify Execution Manager™ for seamless test scheduling and execution.

• Certify Business Process Procedure™ (BPP) – Web-based document generation tool now generates just-in-time business process documentation for training and auditing purposes directly from any Worksoft Certify test.

“Companies continue to look at automated testing as a better way to help manage their overall application maintenance costs,” said Jim Kent, Chief Executive Officer at Worksoft. "With the new cloud innovations introduced in Certify 9, we continue to lead the market with capabilities that help customers around the world achieve these critical objectives.”
